Japan and the Ivory Coast will play on Saturday night in a big Group C match at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Today's game will the fourth of four games taking place at the World Cup on Saturday, and will go a long way to determining which two teams will top the very open Group C.
The game is scheduled to have a kick off time of 9 p.m. EST, and will be broadcast on the ESPN network. The game can also be available to watch online through live stream via the link provided below.
Japan will be looking to star players Honda and Kagawa to find their top form in Brazil following tough seasons domestically. When at the top of their game, those two players can give other teams real problems, and Japan will hope they can be at their best to help take down a very strong Ivory Coast team that boasts a number of very experienced players.
Honda has said ahead of the game, "We want to reach the top. There are other teams that are clearly stronger than Japan, but we have shown many times that we can beat those big teams and I want to do that here."
Meanwhile, Ivory Coast are considered one of the most powerful teams in the World Cup this year. They have depth and strength, and in players like Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba, they have bucket-loads of experience that could be invaluable during tight games.
Drogba currently plays for Galatasaray in Turkey, but has become known throughout his career as a big game player. He could be a massive player for his country in this tournament, and they will hope he can score some match-winning goals that have been the highlight of his phenomenal career.
Yaya Toure will also be a big player. He played a pivotal role in this season's English Premier League, and if he can maintain his season form through this tournament he could be one of the most influential players at this year's World Cup.
